TLC’s influence transcends genres from pop, hip-hop, R&B to fashion and female empowerment. Formed in Atlanta in 1990, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes and Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, two girls with spirit, smarts and spunk, had their sights set on a big future. Navigating some connections, they started to work on demos with then up-and-coming producer Jermaine Dupri. Feeling a trio could work better than a duo, a manager recommended Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas to round out the sound, with their nicknames spelling out the acronym TLC. By 1992, the girls had not only been signed, but released their first album, Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip, to both critical and commercial success, selling 4 million copies in the Unites States and yielding 3 top ten singles. Two years later they released their breakthrough album, CrazySexyCool. Met with critical and commercial acclaim once more, Rolling Stone ranked it as one of the best 500 Albums of all time. To date, TLC has sold 85 million Records Worldwide, 10 Top Ten singles in the US, won 4 Grammy Awards, 5 MTV Awards, 5 Soul Train Awards, and 4 Multi-Platinum selling albums and they currently have one billion plays on Pandora. It’s no surprise that TLC is the best-selling American girl group of all time.
